𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐂 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐞𝐬 … … to Mexico. We are happy and grateful that our colleagues at Stern Ingredients México discovered the wonderful private initiative “Ayudante al Niño IAP” near Mexico City. It provides loving, extended family-style care to orphans and children in difficult family circumstances. Donations from our subsidiary Mühlenchemie are helping get renovations underway, and we also cover school fees and medical care for the kids. In this way we are making a modest contribution to ensuring that young folks can look positively into the future. We’re a family business, so the people at the various locations in our group are important to us. Our colleagues at Stern Ingredients Mexico Hendrik Begemann and Juana Salinas Cruz support the project locally, and see themselves not only as donors but also as advisors, so that 100 percent of the help gets where it needs to be and has a lasting effect.

𝐗𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐗 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒: 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 🙌 High barriers, mud pits, waterholes – our ten-person team didn’t let anything stop it. At the finish line they were rewarded not only with the sore muscles of a lifetime and bright Baltic sunshine, but also a very special experience whose spirit will stay with everyone a long time. Sensing your own limits and relying on the strength of the team – only those who stay together, physically and mentally, conquer the obstacle course. That creates cohesion across team boundaries and affects the working day as well. All were agreed: Next year, next round! 💪 #xletix2024 #wirsindstern #teamspirit

𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐮𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐬 🌟🙌 “Each and everyone of us plays an important part.” With this message CEO Torsten Wywiol opened the Welcome Day for our new YoungStars. As every year, he made plenty of time for it, ensuring that the conversation was lively at the shared breakfast. Fourteen new apprentices and dual students got a comprehensive look at the successes and challenges of our company group, and introduced themselves to the CEO with their own presentation. There were also networking opportunities, from our company history in our FlourWorld Museum to personal talks with Management to conversations with each other, laying a strong foundation for their joint future at the Stern-Wywiol Gruppe. We wish the best of success for all! 🚀 #wirsindstern #youngstars #Ausbildung

𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐨 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 💪 We’re not easy to discourage. For 18 women from our subsidiaries, at the Muddy Angel Run 2024 in Hamburg no ditch was too deep and no obstacle too slippery. Hand in hand they crossed the finish line – wet, muddy, and happy. It was an unforgettable day far removed from routine work. All earnings from the run go to the fight against breast cancer. 🎗️ Together with its partners, in the past years the organizer has collected over € 700,000 in donations. Our colleagues from SternMaid , Hydrosol , Planteneers , SternVitamin , SternEnzym , SternProServ , HERZA Schokolade and the Stern-Wywiol Gruppe gave their all this year once again! 👏 #wirsindstern #muddyangelrun

𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝟗𝟗 𝐭𝐨 𝟏𝟎𝟎𝟎! 𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐰 𝐀𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 🎉 A small idea turned into a big success in just 3 years. The "More Milk for Children in Uganda" initiative has donated over 1000 cows for mothers and children in the Butiru region. This was possible only through the efforts of many sponsors, and more are joining all the time. At our second Cow Ambassador Meeting in Hamburg more than 100 guests listened to a presentation by the Project Coordinator, Sister Elisabeth Mwaka and her daughter Christine. The Honorary Consul of Uganda, Prof. Dr. Dietrich, was clearly impressed by the effectiveness of the campaign. Launched by Volkmar Wywiol in 2021, the project is monitored on-site, and improves the nutritional basis of children in East Uganda. The idea is simple - with a cow worth 300 Euros, a mother can give her many children nourishing milk every day, sustainably, for many years and the first calf goes to another family. A true self-help aid project! 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐤 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐢𝐭, 𝐬𝐞𝐞 👉 https://lnkd.in/ea34yfNS

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹: 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 At Stern-Wywiol Gruppe we know that the future of our business lies in the hands of our youngest talents. That’s why we’re committed to creating opportunities where our apprentices and dual students can grow, collaborate, and strengthen their connections across locations – because investing in our people means investing in our future. The Action Day 2024 was the perfect setting to make that happen. 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 The day kicked off with icebreaker activities and team-building exercises, designed to get everyone working together across departments and locations. In the afternoon, our YoungStars tackled the water olympics, where fun and teamwork were the winning combination. "Action Day was a great opportunity to meet colleagues from different locations and years. The team activities, where we had to find solutions together, were my favorite part. And the water olympics? Definitely a highlight – we had so much fun!”, said Lina Stapff , 3rd year dual student at Mühlenchemie . By working together to solve challenges, our apprentices and dual students built stronger connections and learned the value of communication in achieving success – both in the office and beyond. We look forward to continuing this tradition, creating more opportunities for the Youngstars to grow, learn, and lead. #wirsindstern #ausbildung #ausbildunghamburg #teamwork

𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐣𝐨𝐛𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐬𝐬: 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐃𝐨𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫 🥇 Production must go on – for Yvo Dwinger from HERZA Schokolade , that’s the top priority. And as the bridge between warehousing and production, he and his team have a special responsibility. If material doesn’t come from warehousing in time, production comes to a halt. Even regular days have their challenges, and when big things like plant modifications are underway, the ability to improvise on the fly becomes critical. Our Doer of the Year always keeps the big picture in view even in those situations – and he’s shown that he’s always willing to face a new professional challenge. After starting as a minijobber, he took in-house training and then further training as a Logistics Foreman. Yvo gets to it and doesn’t give up. He has now received a well-deserved recognition! It’s a beautiful tradition at the Stern-Wywiol Gruppe to recognize colleagues for special achievements each year. #employeeoftheyear #wirsindstern #teamplayer

𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐬 - 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭-𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 🍨🌱 These days, if you want to get ahead in the vegan food space, you need to offer more than just plant-based ingredients. Especially for plant-based alternatives to desserts like tiramisu and cheesecake, the final product has to taste good and deliver sustained enjoyment. So the colleagues at our subsidiary Planteneers are constantly working on new solutions. "Whether plant-based alternatives to high protein pudding, soft-melt ice cream or mascarpone, the combination of ingredients must harmonize in flavour and have a pleasant mouthfeel," says Linda Eitelberger . "Especially with high protein products, it's a challenge we face all the time." One of Planteneers' latest developments is a a plant-based alternative to fermented cream dessert, reminiscent of a petit-suisse-type dessert, which has a creamy mouthfeel and can be mixed with various fruit preparations. Planteneers develops tailor-made functional and texturing systems for plant-based meat, fish, dairy and deli alternatives. The dynamic team at our Stern-Technology Center works constantly to further perfect existing solutions and develop new one. #plantbased #plantbaseddairy #plantbaseddessert #vegan

𝐇𝐞 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐲𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠: 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐆𝐨-𝐆𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫 🥇 Some raw materials protest if conditions in the production plant are not to their taste. The core filling inside our HERZA Schokolade bars that are being distributed by SternLife , becomes quite bitchy if the atmosphere is too cold or too dry. Experience and instinct are needed for handling it. That is where Risto Najdovski comes in. Day in, day out he makes sure that everything is as it should be. As a team leader, he not only watches over the heat chambers that create optimum storage conditions for the sensitive raw material; he also attends to organization and communication in the bar mass production unit at HERZA. “I’m an inquisitive man, always on the move, and I find my way into all the offices. I enjoy this personal contact, and it brings me a host of valuable information.” With this, he has rightly earned the award “Go-Getter of the year”. A pleasant tradition has come about in the Stern-Wywiol Gruppe: Every year, members of our staff receive special recognition for the work they do. #employeeoftheyear #wirsindstern #teamplayer
